Which amounts to 4 (almost 5 in BM) actual damage procs per minute. I imagine the slower proc rate for SV is to balance its mastery against the other specs (and MM's is slightly lower than BM to make up for Piercing Shots?)

it adds up, as it sits you need 40% mastery for BM to = SV with the 2pc t15 then the 4pc is boosted by the SV mastery, adding the meta to that plus SV scaling better with gear then BM and that equals SV > BM+MM in all aspects. Its just another example of blizzad failing at hunters.

This is what I would love to know as well. Giving up agi stat and 3% crit damage I sure hope it is a much better meta. It is legendary after all... but, will this cover our meta now and the 500 agi lost on our Sha touch weapons? That is the real question here.

Keep in mind: you might lose 500 Agility, but the raw gain in terms of item stats (LFR is 483 vs 502... that is 19 item levels, more than a full tier), which includes weapon damage, you'd be foolish to think anything otherwise of it. Plus you can still add the prismatic socket to any 5.2 weapons (from the 5.1 quest line). It's no Sha-Touched socket, but it does help.

Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.

Correct, but we are trading in one legendary quest reward for another one that (I think) replaces an already good meta. So do we gain from this change of legendary reward more or less than the 500 agi Sha touched gem. I would hope we gain more just because it is further int he quest line. But then again it is Blizzard so idk.

517 taoren is better than the 522 normal weapons. That being said (if you are lucky and have 517 taoren), we're probably going to keep all our legendary rewards until heroic modes and then some.

There is no way that these will be replacing our meta gems in its current state. If it did it would be an excuse of a legendary. In fact it would be about a 1k dps increase in all specs if it were to replace our metas. That is terrible. Logically there will be another socket for the legendary. If not they better add 216 agi and 3% crit damage on that meta.

Just simmed my toon with FD, 110k with 8.7fight length and then swapped my critdmg meta to a silly stam/stun reduction one and lost 898 DPS
